The recipe I used comes from The Better Homes and Gardens: The New Cook Book. It is the Create-Your-Own Meat Loaf recipe. Which is what I have done. :-)
Meat Loaf
Ingredients:
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup finely crushed Crunchmaster Rice Crackers
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely shredded carrot
1/2 tsp oregano or other herb you like
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground white pepper or regular black pepper
1 lb. ground beef
Directions:
In a mixing bowl combine egg; crushed crackers, milk; onion and carrot, and if desired; herb; salt and pepper. Add ground meat and mix well.
Put mixture into a loaf pan. Pat down and smooth out.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until no pink remains.
Transfer to a serving plate so meat is not sitting in grease. Serves 4.
Tips:
An easy way to crush the crackers is to put them in wax paper and roll a glass back and forth over them.
When I need to use only a part of an onion in a recipe, I freeze the extra in wedges. It is very easy to cut up the onion while it is still frozen. No tears and you can chop it very finely.
Unfortunately, the crunchmasters crackers are not night-shade free as they contain potato starch. See the 3rd ingredient in their website-listed ingredients list:

DeleteSome of the Crunch Masters crackers do list potato starch but other varieties do not. Check the label.
